Modern Victory Garden Project
Become Self Sufficient in 2020 with a Modern Victory Garden
During the uncertain times of a global pandemic, there is no better time than now to become self-sufficient, growing your own veggies and herbs. Colorado State University Extension & Master Gardeners have created the Modern Victory Garden for just that purpose. The Modern Victory Garden webpage has resources to help every step of the way. The resources are designed to help you grow your own food this year and beyond. More resources are added weekly and will change with the season. Learn more about the history of victory gardens. Read more about the Grow & Give aspect of the Modern Victory Project.
